I mean, I kind of guessed this way back when Collective Shout pushed their action.

I actually had a comment removed here on Lemmy when I brought up how this was "US politics/elections affecting your life as gamers", because the mods insisted it was purely an Australian action, and my comment was off-topic. But we live in a global online world. There's no way that US politics wouldn't have a huge effect on this type of censorship.

    Conservatives HATE GAMING. Not the online chuds and 4channers who hate women, they're barely even conservatives...

    They sure sound like conservatives to me.

    Terminology is confusing. Lowercase-c conservatives want to keep the status quo as it is. But fact is that e.g. in the USA, legal access to abortion has been the status quo for 50 years.

    So nobody can say that the status quo has been anything but that in the US. So uppercase-C “Conservative” just means “reactionary” now, because that's what it is to roll back a 50 year old right.

    It is as it always was: Even if you have no interest in politics, the politics are interested in you.

    Ordinary people should adopt politics as a hobby, if only to have agency about which type of politics thrives or dies. I would much prefer sex-positive media to proliferate over sex negative, because the latter will take away my hentai games and manga. Furries, queers, and genuine perverts, all of them should have a shared interest of putting conservative values into a pine box, with a bit of stake and garlic.

    And facing towards the earth with their head decapitated and placed between their legs. Kudos in advance if you know what that means.

    The US is still the leader of the West, whatever its policies are, they will greatly affect the people in these countries.
